There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Lees Summit to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
